The perfect antidote to the week's Wrecks...and gorgeous reminders that there really are people out there who can make incredibly beautiful cakes. Happy Edster, Eappy, Easter, or something else or nothing to all.

OMG, I clicked on the link for the-icing-on-the-cake to better see the stargazer lilies as you suggested, but was immediately distracted when scrolling down and seeing that birdcage cake. Soooooo pretty!

I was surprised to see the two brown bunnies were done by two different bakeries. The faces are exactly the same. I was disappointed there weren't any non-fondant cakes today. I like to see the beauty of a cake and want to eat it too. There's no palate appeal to the look of dry fondant.

Those flowers are so perfect, I had an instinctive need to sniff at them on the larger picture, and that's looking at them through a computer monitor. Outstanding!

I've become addicted to Sugarbelle's blog recently. Not only are her cookies amazing, and not only does she feature other amazing cookies, but she's extremely generous with posting how-tos. I'm inclined to try something soon based on such inspiration.

Those Easter cakes are gorgeous! They make me want to go out and learn how to make cakes like that for my family and friends. So adorable! Nice change from those nightmarish mistakes that we usually see.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
